Mr. Chair, I think this one might pique Mr. Albas' interest.

I'm proposing to add new subsections 14(1.1) and (1.2).

First, proposed subsection 14(1.1) requires the Minister of the Environment, in consultation with other federal ministers, to prepare progress reports on 2030 by the end of 2023, another by the end of 2025 and another by the end of 2027.

Second, proposed subsection 14(1.2) requires the 2025 progress report to include an assessment of the 2030 GHG emissions target and requires the Minister of the Environment to consider amending the 2030 target.

These amendments increase the accountability for 2030.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
